Illinois Farm Bureau will solicit members to be part of a new Farm Bill Working Group charged with examining all the titles in the legislation to consider areas for improvement.
As reauthorization of the next farm bill could happen within the next year, the group will focus on the following farm bill.
“The Farm Bill Working Group will be a great opportunity for our grassroots process to succeed, with a diverse group of farmers delivering for Illinois agriculture,” IFB President Brian Duncan said. “It will allow Illinois Farm Bureau members to identify what is working and what is not working in the farm bill. The goal is to be prepared with recommendations when the next farm bill is up for re-authorization.”
The working group may provide policy submittals through IFB’s resolutions process.
